To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, HANS H.v IvnRsEN, JRGEN IvnRsEN, and HENRY Pl PAULSEN, citizens of the United States, residing at Schleswig, in the county ofCrawford and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stock-Waterers, of which the following isa specification. y

Our present invention pertains to stock watering apparatus. y

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a tank constructed of sheetmetal in such manner that it is'rigid` and strong and yet is possessed of large capacity. j y Another object of the invention is the provision of a tank embodying `closure means for excluding foreign substances from the water and having the closure constructed and arranged in such manner that it serves the additional purpose of contributingto the rigidity and strength of the tank.

Another object is the provision of a stock watering tank having openings at different points so that small `and large stock can drink with facility, and alsohaving automatic means forcontrolling the supply of water to the trough in communication with the lower opening. v l

\ Another object is the provision of a stock watering tank embodying heating means, and means whereby the products of combustion'are conducted `around the tank in a tortuous course so that the water in the tank will be maintained in a heated` state throughout `the height thereof and consequently freezing of the water in winter will be precluded.

Other advantageous features of the invention will be fullyunderstood fromthe following description and claims when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming` part of this specification, in which:

Figure l is a frontelevation of the tank constituting the best practical embodiment` of our invention. that we have as yet devised; the same being shown with the doors complementary to the fuel tank chamber and burner chamber in a raised position.

Fig. 2 is a diametrical, broken section, of

the tank, on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same.

Fig. 4 is a detailed diametrical section,

" partition taken in the 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a section taken at right angles to Fig. 4: and in the plane indicated by the line -5-5 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary vertical section taken through the flues of the tank and also through the fuel tank chamber and the burner chamber, and showing the fuel tank and the burner` in perspective and elevation, respectively. y.

Fig. 7 is a detailverticalsection, taken through the fuel tank chamber and the Hue above said chamber in a plane at one end of the fuel tank chamber.

Fig.v 8 is a detail vertical section showing the watering trough for small stock and the plane indicated'by the line `means for controlling the supply of water to said trough.A y

F`g. 9 is a perspective illustrative of the platebetween the lower and upper flues in which the opening is formed` for the passage of products of combustion from the lower flue `to the upper flue. y y

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings. y y y y Our novel tank comprises a `body and a cover removably secured on the body and adapted .to effectually exclude foreign substance from the water-containingportion of the body. y

As clearly shown in Fig. 2 the body of the tank comprises an angle iron rim 1, a base annulus 2, of rightangle form in cross-section, an inner annulus 3, also of right angle form in cross-section, a side wall 4, formed in one or a plurality `of sections and preferably of galvanized vsheet-metal and bolted at 5 to the upstanding portion of the annulus 2, an upper annulus 6 which surrounds and is bolted to the upper portion of the wall 4: immediately under the horizontal portion of the top rim 1, an inner inclined wall 7 also formed by preference in one' or more sections of galvanized sheet-metal and bolted adjacent to its upper edge to the depending portion `of the rim 1 and arranged at its lower edge within the upstanding portion of the inner base annulus 3, suitable solder 8, Fig. 2, arranged interiorly against the turned seam of walls 7 and9 and within said annulus 3, a bottom wall 9, preferably of galvanized sheet-metal, bolted to flue 1l of the tank, an annular plate 1.2-

burner, hereinafter described.

d If deemedexpfedient a plurality" of spaced and radially disposed straps 17 may be provided above or below the`a`1nn1lus`2 andthe annulus Biat intervals around the bottom of the tank body; "the said` straps beingbolted or riveted'to the elem'entsh'2 and 3 and being` adapted to lendV increased strength andstiii'- ness to'tlielower portion ofthe tank body. We would also 'have it und`er`s`tood`at this point that when Vdesired son'ie "of the said straps 17V may'bfe utilized for the connection of the supports'of theifueltank vand the The" plates i it l hich the partition wall 14: isformed are preferably joined inthe maneinerr Fig. le., each plate yis provided at one endwlth Ias'truck-up tongue 18, between which `and the ma] or lportionl of the plate the lapped endof 'the ne'Xt `adjacent plate interposed and held as illustrated. When desired the said lapped ends" of the plates forming the wall la may be Aco'n- "ected together by bolts or other but 'is not essential and isthereforey not illustrated..` "'s'hest shown in Fig. Gthe tank body is provided at with va uelltank chamber,

and atj 21' with a'burner chamber; thesaid or of any other suitable construction adapted -ior use in our apparatus. The chamber 20 is provided with a door 27 in the upper pord tion l0i' which are openings 28,A and ithe burner chamber 2l 1s provided with a doorV 29. 'lhese doors 27 vand 29 are equipped with knobs 30 and are movable vertically in guides 31 which vmay be attached to the wall 4 or may be formed integral with said wall inthedisc-retion of the manufacturer.

Vhen the doors 27 and 29 are closed and the bi ner 26 is lighted,` air will'enter the chamber `20"through the openingsZS, and will pass fromh said `chamber 2O'throughv the rapferturesf2f/i'into the"chamber 21 -so to properly support combustion. Froni the burner,l the hfeated products Aof combustion will pass through thefflue l1 and around the tank body until said products bringy up Aagainst the side Vofthe 'wall 22`re1notefrom the chamber 21, whereupont-he products will pass upwardly through anopening 3,0 in the partition ill' yand into the upper flueA 1,5'. In this `latter 'flue the products ofwco'inbustion will (pass in reverse direction around Ithe tank until they bring up against the opposite sides offthe transversef*wall`22j-Fig. 6, at which point they will pass out of theftlue l5 through opening 80.., Fig` 7, and into the atmosliliere.` l By Vvirtue of the arrangement deluded, itwillbe manifest that the products of combustion are carried aroundfthe lower portion of the tank body in one direction, and then arecarried aroundth'e upper portion loisaid bodyinthe opposite direction before they are permitted tov4 escape from the l'tank"body` Froin this it follows'that throughout its' height, the 'water-containing portion of 'the tank bodyivilli be adequately heated `with. the result that ifreezing'oi the waterwillbeprecludedf 1 'At ,40 is'the openingthroughavhich small stock Vmay drink, atelis thetrongh'in vcommunication withl said; opening. The Asaid trough-is flanged at 42 orconnection to the ``o"u`ter side of' the wall V'zuid inasmuch as the trough is :formed A of "cast 'iron' it will be manifest that 'thelsaid Hanger twill 'reinforce and protect the portion of ythe 'walls a fig-aina ahaha reappear Water is suppliedY tothe float'cha'mhera?? connected with the trough througha iconduitfa'i, Fig. 8.i The said iioai chamber is provided 45. with aioraininoiis intake, and is also provided" at 46 with a valve-seat "with which cooperates a valve 47 controlled by a 'float a; It will 'thus be Sen'thatthe tfoiieh 41 WHbe Supplied "at al1 time wie a, para quantify if weer', and` that the lsupply-will bel replenished automatically at intervals'as required. i f i Asbest shQwn in Figs 3,4 and, 5, the cover of the tank `comprises two,- semi-cir# elle SeCbQeS ,5.0 'and `5.1" which @ferretertrough 41 from a ably of sheet-metah The section 50 is provided near its inner edge with `an angular iron 52, and the section 5l is provided on its inner edge with a similar angular iron 53. It will also be noticed that the ends of the horizontal portions lof said angle-irons are shaped into hooks 53a. Reaching at right angles from the angle irons 52 and 53 are straps 54 which'are iiXed tothe cover sections and-terminate at their outer ends in hooks 55, Fig. 4. When the cover sections are positioned von the tank body the said hooks 53a and 55 are engaged with the edge of the rim l, and consequently when the lapped inner portions of the cover sec tions are drawn together by the bolts and nuts that coperate with the slotted upstanding portions of the angle irons 52 and 53, the hooks by cooperation with the rim 1 will securely iiX the cover in position.

At the cover section 50 is provided with an opening through which large stock can conveniently drink. The said opening is bordered by a depending flange 6l which is designed to extend down into the water with a view to excluding the wind from the underside ot' the cover.

l/Vhen the cover is secured on the tank body in the manner described, it will be observed that a tight joint is made between the cover and the rim l, and also that the lapped inner portions of the cover sections form a tight joint calculated to exclude the air and assist in preventing freezing of the water.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that our novel tank is inexpensive in construction and well adapted to withstand the rough usage to which watering tanks are ordinarily subjected; also, that in cold weather the means described may be depended on to maintain the water in such a state that the same can be used to advantage for watering purposes.

The angle iron 3 is shown in Figs. 2, 7 and 8 as riveted at 3X to the bottom wall 9.
